I didn't actually miss that thread, but in that case it was a short
outage, and cia.vc came back the next day. People were pointed at the
-commits ML, and that was it.

Now that it's down for good (unless someone recreates it, but no news
of that so far), we need a more permanent solution. The -commits ML is
okay (tho I don't want to subscribe to such a high-volume ML), but we
miss an IRC interface. The website and statistics of cia.vc were nice
too.

The irker proxy was mentioned in this thread. I think we should look
into this. Unless someone has a better idea.

(which is why I brought this up in the first place)
